That’s a Lot of…..Horse Manure!

September 23, 2016Karen Mathis

Anyone who’s cared for horses knows how nice (and financially wise) it would be to reduce the amount of time spent mucking waste material from stalls and to have less of it to dispose of afterward. That’s a time consuming chore, and EcoPett Premium Pine Bedding is an all-natural product that can help. EcoPett Bedding greatly reduces both the time needed to muck stalls and the amount of material that needs to be removed.

According to Michael Westerndorf, Extension Specialist with Rutgers University’s Animal Sciences, an average 1000-pound horse produces between 31 pounds of manure and 2.4 gallons of urine every day. The urine is acidic in nature, containing nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium. With this amount and composition of waste, stalls can quickly become wet and smelly. Anyone who has or manages horses know this requires a lot of mucking of this waste material and soiled bedding from stalls.

Improve Horse Bedding Absorption and Efficiency

While straw, paper and other materials can quickly become soggy and smelly, EcoPett Pine Bedding is super absorbent. The pellets very quickly absorb moisture, expanding up to 5+X their size. With this extreme absorbency, you simply scoop the small, soiled areas similar to cleaning a cat litter box, leaving the remainder of the material. Unlike straw, shavings and paper, you don’t have to replenish nearly as much or as often. And, there is so much less waste material to scoop and remove.

EcoPett Premium Pine Bedding is an all-natural product that works to reduce both your time spent mucking, the amount of waste material and your labor costs. It’s a win-win!
